Abstract

Data presented here are discrete bottle samples from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site located 80 km SE of Bermuda (31°40N, 64°10W) in the Sargasso Sea for October 1988 (cruise 10001) through June 2024 (cruise 10416). Measurements were collected from the core monthly BATS cruises and the near-biweekly (depending on ship availability) BATS Bloom cruises during February through April. The sample parameter list has been mostly consistent for the full time-series record and includes...
